Zucchini Muffins

July 23, 2017 by Amber 20 Comments

Zucchini Muffins

It is that time of year for everything zucchini! I made these simple and delicious Zucchini Muffins from garden zucchini with a pinch of cinnamon and crunchy walnuts baked in.

Zucchini MuffinsZucchini Muffins and loaves are one of those foods that just taste like home to me. It is a comfort food for sure and really simple to make. These happen to freeze very well also. Go ahead and make a huge batch and use them for after school snacks or breakfast for the months ahead.

Freezer tip: Place the muffins on a baking sheet and set into freezer for 2 hours. Remove from freezer and place into freezer bags. They will stay good in the freezer for about 3 months. You can have them sit out and thaw until at room temperature or microwave for 30 seconds each.

Zucchini MuffinsMy mother ‘n’ law brought me over two zucchinis from her garden and these should have been entered into some sort of competition because they were the biggest zucchinis I have ever seen! I got 3 batches of muffins from a single zucchini! That isn’t typical. Normally, I would buy one or even two zucchinis for a single batch.

Feel free to add raisins or grated carrot! Both are a great addition to these Zucchini Muffins and add some extra flavor.

Zucchini MuffinsYou can also use this recipe to make a loaf of zucchini bread. Change your temperature and cook time to 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

    Looks delicious and easy to make. I love that it uses a lot of zucchini, as we have PLENTY that we need to use and some recipes don’t call for much zucchini. Pinned and going to try later. 🙂

      She doesnt cook but loves gardening so she is always sharing her veggies and i think it pays off for her too when she gets muffins. ?

    OK, so I definitely need to give these a go, I’m probably going to add the carrots because I’m going to give my kids “cupcakes for breakfast”! They’re gonna be stoked, and I’ll be satisfied that I’ve snuck them some veggies. Not that they don’t eat veggies, but sometimes…..I just don’t want to hear “what is that, I don’t think I’m going to like it”! UGH! Thanks for giving the instructions for making into a bread!

      Carrots are a good addition Jen. My kids love these in muffin or loaf form
